1 * Hebrew ch. 30 v. 2 Moses [Drawn out] spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, “This is the thing which Adonai has enjoined. 2 † Num 30:2 (Num 30:2-16) [Heb Bible Num 30:3 (Num 30:3-17)] (#9.564): T. To keep a vow or oath made to Adonai, it shall not be unfulfilled / R. To judge in annulment of vows according to the rules in the matter found in Torah ·Teaching·. (See Num 30:3-15 [Heb Bible Num 30:4-16]) When a man vows a vow to Adonai , or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, ‡ Num 30:2 (Num 30:1-2, 30:3-15) [Heb Bible Num 30:3 (Num 30:2-3, 30:4-16)] (#9.565): T. Not to transgress your word nor your vow / R. Not to break oaths or vows
T. Directive: That is not to transgress in matters that one has forbidden himself he shall not break his word. § Paraphrase Quoted in Matt 5:33 He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

3 “Also when a woman vows a vow to Adonai , and binds herself by a bond, being in her father’s house, in her youth, 4 and her father sh'ma ·hears obeys· her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. 5 But if her father forbids her in the day that he sh'ma ·hears obeys·, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand. Adonai will forgive her, because her father has forbidden her.
6 “If she has a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul, 7 and her husband sh'ma ·hears obeys· it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he sh'ma ·hears obeys· it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand. 8 But if her husband forbids her in the day that he sh'ma ·hears obeys· it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul. Adonai will forgive her.
9 “But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against her.
10 “If she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, 11 and her husband sh'ma ·heard obeyed· it, and held his peace at her, and didn’t disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand. 12 But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he sh'ma ·heard obeyed· them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand. Her husband has made them void. Adonai will forgive her. 13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her. He has established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he sh'ma ·heard obeyed· them. 15 But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”
16 These are the statutes which Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out], between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house.
